During the occasion, Dr. Saundarya Rajesh the founder and Managing trustee quoted, “According to statistics available, women’s workforce participation in India hovers around 24 percent, one of the lowest in the world per cent. In the vast landscape of India’s workforce, employment opportunities for women have grown brighter, yet challenges persist. Despite recessionary trends globally, hiring activity in India is seeing an uptick with a lot of job opportunities emerging. With a decade where women’s workforce participation declined, behind us, it’s clear that we must work harder to level the playing field.”

Mr. M Prathap, IAS, Commissioner – Corporation of Coimbatore, said, “Where girls are not represented, there is stagnation. Hence, girls’ education is for the welfare of the whole nation. Project Puthri that instils career intentionality in girl students gives us immense gratification for the change it envisions. As demonstrated by over 50 women scientists who worked on Chandrayaan 3, they hold the key for progress and success. Government initiatives like Naan Mudhalvan coupled with career visioning conference like this are the seeds for a greater tomorrow where women are represented equally in all spheres."

Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Bharathi Harishankar, Vice Chancellor, Avinashilingam University for women, said, “Your career is not just about financial empowerment but also a means to transform societies. So set your target on what you want to achieve and work towards it with dedication and focus. Along with that, inculcate the drive to change the destiny of the communities and this nation, you will be doubly gratified.”

“Set your goals and look beyond the conventional options. Find out your passion, and don’t hesitate to nurture it. This is the age to know what your calling is. Build the sub-goals around these without being inhibited by the size of these dreams and ambitions.” Geethanjali Chandrasekaran, Senior Project Manager, Cognizant Technology Solutions, addressed in her speech at the Udyog Utsav 2023.
